How 3 Manning books explain it

Django in Action

A subtemplate is a reusable template fragment that can be rendered independently as an HTML response segment or included in another template.

How it is used
Composes Django pages from reusable HTML fragments and supplies targeted HTMX response segments.
How deep it goes
Explains inclusion, passed context, conditional markup, and request-dependent partial rendering without detailing template-engine internals.
Examples
Uses blog fragments, a pagination footer, musician search results, and editable venue-room rows.
What you can do after
Apply it via Django {% include %} to reuse markup and return focused HTMX updates.

ASP.NET Core in Action, 3e

A partial Razor view is a reusable Razor view fragment that can be rendered within another view or layout.

How it is used
Reuses HTML fragments across Razor Pages or layouts and breaks large views into manageable pieces.
How deep it goes
Works through a model-typed partial, its Tag Helper call, and basic lookup; distinguishes rendering from request handling.
Examples
Shows a reusable to-do item template rendered in a loop and a login-links partial rendered in a layout.
What you can do after
Build it from scratch using a model-typed .cshtml partial and render it with the <partial /> Tag Helper.

What you can do after
Build it from scratch as a CSHTML partial and apply it in MVC views or Razor Pages.
